Mmm...foreign

It's official, I'm now a foreigner. I can now walk around with a purpose bumbling and tripping my way through many cultural misunderstandings because of my new sexy Japan visa. Hopefully, I can "actually" get into the country since a visa is exactly a gurantee. Note to self: Leave the powdered sugar at home.

These past few weeks have been busy. I'm gradually saying goodbye to the things I take for granted in my home country, tieing up lose ends with friends and family, and finishing last minute preparation for my departure. These things give me an odd sense of importance, which is a pleasant change. The only thing that I wish was that of all of this closure stuff would hurry up and, well, close. I'm ready to go. The waiting is killing me.
